Shelter Advisory Committee

The Shelter Advisory Committee is an ad hoc committee of the Green County Human Services Board. This committee is made up of dedicated community members who are appointed by the Human Services Board to provide guidance, oversight, and support for the FIELDS emergency shelter program.
